Medical Assistance Program (Medicaid) in Alaska (CFDA 93.778)

Medicaid’s Alaska cell is ten large instruments

CFDA 93.778 is titled MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. That Catalog name is the federal Medicaid assistance line as USAspending files it. Filtered to Alaska place of performance, obligations sum to $8,140,216,159 on 10 awards. Medicaid typically posts as a small number of very large assistance instruments rather than one row per claim. The implied mean of about $814.02 million per award is a state-pass-through instrument size, not a typical encounter cost.

The national Medical Assistance Program hub includes every other state. Alaska federal spending includes every other program. This tie is the intersection. An obligation is not an outlay. The packet publishes no fiscal year, so $8,140,216,159 cannot be treated as a single federal fiscal year of FMAP or as completed provider payments.

Packet facts stop at Alaska, CFDA 93.778, $8,140,216,159, and 10 awards. Recipient names, enrollee counts, and provider lists are absent. Do not invent contractors, hospitals, or award recipients. This page offers no medical advice. Correlation is not causation.

93.778 is not CHIP in Alaska

Children's Health Insurance Program (CFDA 93.767) and Medicare hospital insurance sit on other Catalog numbers. Mixing those dollars into $8,140,216,159 would invent a broader total than this 93.778 × AK cell contains. Facts available: Alaska, CFDA 93.778, $8,140,216,159, 10 awards. The program name on the packet is Medical Assistance Program.

Dividing $8,140,216,159 by 10 yields about $814.02 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. Ten is not a count of Alaska enrollees, tribes, hospitals, or boroughs. Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, and every other locality collapse into one AK place-of-performance code on this page.

Alaska geography on the 93.778 tag

AK is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Juneau, Anchorage, or another Alaska locality can share the tag. Awards coded to Washington or other states stay outside $8,140,216,159 even when a referral, travel, or telehealth arrangement crosses a border. The code does not convert $8.14 billion into a borough or tribal-health map.

Alaska federal spending is the all-program parent. 93.778 is one row on Alaska programs. $8,140,216,159 is not the state's complete federal footprint. Open Medical Assistance Program in Alaska for the filtered table, CFDA 93.778 for the program without an Alaska filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into this cell.

Reading 10 awards under $8.14 billion

$8,140,216,159 ÷ 10 is about $814.02 million per award. The figure is not a median and is not a cost per enrollee. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 10 as a USAspending award-record count, not as 10 finished health programs.

Without a transaction register on this page, you cannot see how many of the 10 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $8,140,216,159 without changing the join key of 93.778 and AK.

What the Medicaid–Alaska pair does not prove

A Medical Assistance Program total tagged to Alaska does not measure coverage rates, health outcomes, or provider payments completed, and it does not equal cash disbursed. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $8,140,216,159 on 10 awards for Medical Assistance Program in Alaska.

Keep both sides of the join: Medical Assistance Program and Alaska, obligations only. Do not annualize $8,140,216,159 without a year field. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a coverage narrative.

This page exists because two tables meet: a CFDA program and a place-of-performance state. It does not exist to argue that Alaska won or lost federal money, that donations paid for the awards, or that obligations equal cash. The pair is 93.778 plus AK. Obligations of $8,140,216,159 are not outlays. Cite Medical Assistance Program together with Alaska whenever you reuse $8,140,216,159.
